She Is Woman...

Hear her roar! Make that hear her curse after prickin' her finger because she misplaced her thimble.

Here's a sneak peek at my first Firewood Folks© for 2009.
Betsy Ross will be listed on my Countryfolk Keepsakes website soon.
I'll keep ya posted.

New York Giants Or New England Patriots?

The New York Giants, of course!

But for the record, I must say I don't know a dang gum thing about football. I don't understand the game no matter how many times hubs has tried to explain it to me.

Terms like down, blitz, hail mary, tight end and yardage are all too confusin'. To me "Hail Mary" is a prayer, "yardage" is at the fabric store and a "tight end" is, well... ;> )

But every year, we plant ourselves in front of the T.V. (like millions around the world) and watch the Super Bowl. As long as I know what color "my" team is wearin', I'm fine.

For all you football fans, enjoy your day!! For all you non football fans especially "football widows"... Now's the time to hop online and do some shoppin'. Sweet Revenge!

HOLY SMOKES!! I may not know a thing about football, but that was an AWESOME game!! I was even screamin' at the T.V.! Woo-Hoo!!! Congratulations New York Giants!! YaY!

I'm No Longer Over The Rainbow...

Whew!! I traveled that yellow brick road from Deansboro to Oz and man are my "dogs" tired. I've got two corns and a blister now.

Heck, I don't know how Dorothy did it hoppin' around in those ruby red scoots of hers. I would have weathered better in a pair of earth shoes. All I need is some red sequins and a glue stick and I'd be skippin' around too.

Well folks, my one of a kind Wizard Of Oz Firewood Folks Series is complete. I truly had a blast makin' them. They will be listed individually on eBay this Sunday night(February 3rd).

I will be workin' on more Firewood Folks; but for now I think I'm goin' to get me a pedicure and take a load off.

Happy biddin' and God bless...

Oh and don't forget to feast your peepers on Zella-Lee and Hedy the Hare. They are my February offerin' on The Humble Arts.

"But Oz Never Did Give Nothin' To The Tin Man..."

"That he didn't, didn't already have. And Cause never was the reason for the evenin', or the tropic of Sir Galahad."

What in the heck was that Dewey Bunnell feller from the band America smokin' when he wrote those lyrics? It makes no sense but was a real toe tapper, wasn't it?

I remember my mama lovin' that song, so I saved my money and bought her the 45 (for 79¢) and gave it to her for her birthday. That along with some groovy wooden napkins rings. Gotta love the 70's.

Here's my Tin Man.

I'm workin' on the scarecrow next...

Many of y'all know I still get the willies when I see those flyin' monkeys! YIKES! *shudder* But I know they are important characters to the story.

So I was finally was able to bring myself to sculpt one of these lil' creatures. He will be offered with the Wicked Witch.

Mine isn't as scary lookin' but I reckon it will take years of therapy to overcome this one. I really do need my head examined anyway. :> )

She's Not Bald Anymore...

Here's a sneak peek at my February 1st offerin' on the Humble Arts.

Meet... Zella-Lee and Hedy the Hare.

They're (Almost) Off To See The Wizard...

Only two left to go. Man, I'm havin' so much dang fun makin' these! I will have the series complete and up for auction on Super Bowl Sunday night.

If y'all are an Oz fan or know someone who is; join my email list (on my website) and I'll give y'all a holler when they're ready!

I've A Feelin' They're Not In Kansas Anymore...

She keeps clickin' those heels of hers; but she's still here in Central New York.

She is my second Firewood Folks for 2008 in a Wizard of Oz series I'm workin' on and will be offered down the road upon completion.

So hopefully Dorothy (and her little dog too) will find their way back to Tornado Alley.

There's no place like home... *click* There's no place like home... *click* There's no place like home... *click*

The Calm Before The Storm...

I snapped this pic about an hour ago.

Its spooky but pretty. What's even freakier... NO SNOW!

A Sneak Peek At My #2 Firewood Folk for 2008...

She's as bald as a cue ball but I promise she won't be lookin' like Uncle Fester's twin when I get finished with her.

The poor thing is waitin' for my shipment of mohair to get delivered. So until then I'll keep a hat on her.

I can't show ya the rest of her because her clothin' would give her away.

But I'll give ya a lil' hint... She's a Jayhawks fan.

I'll keep ya posted.

Guess Who's Goin' On eBay Tonight?

So if y'all want youself your very own Firewood Folk©; click on the "My eBay" link on the upper right side of my page!

Ta-dah...

He's not neked anymore.

Jeb the Scarecrow will be listed on eBay tonight.

My Next Halloween Firewood Folk...

He's as neked as a Jaybird at the moment because I'm in the process of stitchin' up some clothes for him. In the mean time, I'd better throw a towel or a fig leaf on him.

A good thing he has no eyes yet 'cause he's rather modest and would be shocked if he knew how many folks were lookin' at him right now.

I'm also workin' on my dollie for Ava Grace's auction and stitchin' up some new dollies for the ol' website.

I'll keep y'all posted.

Nitey-Nite, Sleep Tight (If You Can)...

Here is my first Halloween Firewood Folks for 2007.

Do you recognize him?

If you're thinkin' he's that Freddy from Chico And The Man or the lead singer from Queen, guess again.

Why its Freddy Krueger from Nightmare On Elm Street, of course.

I'll be listin' Freddy on eBay in the future. So keep your peepers peeled for him and more from my Halloween Firewood Folks collection.

They're Baaaaaaack...

Well folks since I've had some requests, I decided to start a 2007 series of my Halloween Firewood Folks.
I've got all kinds of fun ideas swirlin' around this noggin of mine.

I've got the ol' ball and chain outside cuttin' up logs with his chainsaw and I'll be out there wieldin' my axe. Boy, that sounds like a horror movie doesn't it? Well I guess it could be if I go out there without a stitch of makeup on.

As always, my one of a kind Firewood Folks are signed, dated and numbered. You can scoot on over to my website and join my email list if ya would like to be notified of my new pieces. While you're there, click on the "My Gallery" button to see my previous Firewood Folks.

Oh and don't forget the first week of August The Humble Arts family will have our first eBay launch. Its titled "Underneath the Falloween Moon". In the eBay Search type HARTS07. Ooooh, I can't wait to see what this talented group of artists will have to offer.
